Imagine having a high-tech security system for nature that uses satellites and drones as eyes in the sky. It combines detective work with digital maps to spot illegal logging or poaching before they happen. It's like a digital twin of the forest that warns managers when animals and humans are about to clash.
Nature conservation is currently reactive, dealing with biodiversity loss after it happens. Managers lack the real-time intelligence to prevent illegal activities and human-wildlife conflicts.
A tool suite featuring a near real-time conflict radar, habitat change monitoring software, a biodiversity knowledge graph, and 3 predictive digital twins.
If you are a compliance firm dealing with Natura 2000 reporting — this project developed a tool suite including habitat mapping and change monitoring that automates the detection of illegal activities like logging or waste dumping.
If you are a farm operator dealing with crop damage or livestock loss from wild animals — this project developed a near real-time conflict radar that acts as an early warning system to prevent Human-Wildlife Conflicts.
If you are a park manager dealing with limited staff for vast areas — this project developed predictive digital twins for species like bears and sturgeon that translate observations into actionable intelligence.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the tool suite are not provided.
Yes, the system was tested across 4 field sites in Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine, covering diverse habitats and species.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms for the software and knowledge graphs are not mentioned.
Yes, the project specifically targets compliance reporting for Natura 2000 areas and includes a Policy Lab to help policy makers with compliance assurance.
It uses semantic web technology and knowledge graphs to interlink and harmonize diverse data sources, including satellites, drones, and camera-traps.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 12 partners across 8 countries. With a 25% industry ratio (3 industrial partners) and 5 SMEs, there is a strong lean toward practical application rather than pure academic research. The inclusion of both SMEs and universities suggests a pipeline from research to a marketable product.
